    My husband would text me randomly throughout the day telling me he loved me most and that I was beautiful. He helped out around the house, so I wouldn't have so much to do. He was always looking for and saving recipes that he thought I'd like so he could cook dinner for me on occasion. I miss him terribly. Even the things that irritated me about him.

    He died suddenly a little over a month ago. My advice...make sure they know you love them. Always. I'm glad he always knew how much he meant to me and I knew how much I meant to him. The last text he read from me and that he sent to me was us saying we were each other's world. I'm very thankful for that.

    Not trying to be a thread killer, but I wanted to share.

    That's really beautiful and sad. How long were you together?

    Three and a half years. We had only been married a month when he passed.
    I am so sorry.

    It was not pre-chewed I promise! Maybe I should have been more clear about that lol
    Doesn't matter. He is not allowed to eat off of food I'm eating, we do not share utensils, we do not drink out of the same glass or bottle and he BETTER NOT USE MY TOWEL. Ick. Ew. Yuck.

    I know it's weird. I know it makes no sense. But yuck. Just yuck.

    If it was in your mouth, I don't want it in mine.

    How do you tolerate the inter-course? As in inter? And you don't have kids, I'm sure. Imagine catching vomit with your hand, or getting a kidd off your lap to find they had diahrrea that leaked on you. Seriously. You can't be serious.
    I don't eat anyone's vomit, either.

    I have a 20-year-old daughter and lots of animals. I would much rather clean up vomit and diarrhea than eat off of the same fork as another person. I am serious. I know it isn't rational, but we all have our "thing."

    Strangely enough, I have mild germaphobia. Can't stand taking a bath (because no matter how much I scrub, it just doesn't seem the tub could ever be clean enough - I do shower plenty!), can't stand people I don't know touching me (shaking hands is really hard), have to force myself not to brush my teeth for too long... but I guess he is someone I trust implicitly, so nothing he could do would "gross me out" :love:

    And yeah ... I guess the rainbow puke was appropriate, now that I think of it. We're that cheesy couple people love to hate LOL
    It isn't a trust thing. I wouldn't eat or drink after my daughter or my parents or my best friend, either. No one. Ever. I just can't do it.

    And I'm not a germaphobe at all. It isn't about the germs. I don't know what it is.

    I can't share milk- no matter what. NO MILK.

    Water- beer- wine- whatever- I'll share. but no milk.

    Also- I'm less inclined to share water from a glass than bottle- like- dude- go get your own. But its' weird because he gets up at night for water- and if it's a bottle I'll probably have some- if it's a glass I usually just pass on it.

    the weird things that make us us.

    Apparently I need to step up my game. The only thing I've ever slipped into my wife's bath was a toaster.

    Dying.

    When I first met guy, I knew I needed to find a way of making him want me forever. So, over the past year, I’ve been perfecting the art of romance and tricking him into thinking he can’t live without me. It's working. So pay attention ladies.

    First, when he’s showering, I take his towel, put it in the dryer to warm it up, then place it in the bathroom for him in the shape of a heart… this shows my love for him.

    Secondly, I take pictures of him when he’s not looking… especially when he’s sleeping. I send him those pictures of himself throughout the day so that he knows I’m always thinking of him.

    Third, I keep a list of things he likes and make sure I have them on hand whenever I see him… like Peanut Butter Cups and IPA’s.

    Fourth, I try to prepare his toothbrush for him each morning so that he knows I care enough to save him the exertion of having to do so himself.

    Last, but certainly most importantly, I make sure we always have adequate love igloo time. Each day, we huddle under a blanket, pretend we’re in an igloo, and discuss our day, our dreams, and our sexual fantasies. That keeps us so close with an inseparable bond no one could ever break.

    And that, my friends, is how I keep the romance alive.

    I have no issues with what people do in the privacy of their own homes... I just have to wonder how someone decides it should be shared with a large group of faceless strangers... Like... there you are... sitting in front of a computer.. or staring into your phone... and suddenly you say to yourself... "I bet the world wants me to share this..." WHEN the reality is Umm no...keep that *kitten* to yourself... besides anyone with a modicum of talent and imagination could scribble down that nonsense...

    Not all guys like this kind of stuff. I think my hubby would rather have me sit down next to him during a football game and ask if he traded someone on his fantasy football than for me to put the toothpaste on his brush. Seems like (s)mothering, but to each their own.

    It's totally not smothering! This is doctor and Cosmopolitan tested, proven advice. You MUST start prepping his toothbrush for him! Trust me, he's gonna love it!

    Have to say these were not the responses I was hoping for.

    Not sure how romantic you will think this is, but here goes. For the last year i've had to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. He has always been super supportive and has always helped me in any way he can. Lately, I've gotten really depressed about the weight i've gained due to not being able to take care of myself like i'd like. I recently put in my notice at the second job, so i'm down to one job now (yay!) but that means the budget just got a lot smaller for me. He knows all of this and this past weekend took me out and bought me some kettlebells and resistance bands. All complete with training on how to use them (he's an ex powerlifter). I thought it was so sweet and supportive of him to do that for me and it really showed me how much he cares about me and my health and well being.

    Oh, and he massaged my sore muscles afterwards :wink:

    Probably because I have social/emotional issues due to having been raised in a religious cult in Alaska... pretty much cut off from all society outside our "church family." Not kidding. Some 15 years after getting out, still figuring out how the world really works.

    Yeah, this.

    I have a cousin that just had a baby... and she posted this big long novel on her husband's FB wall with tons of intimate details about what a wonderful father he is, etc... and it's like, isn't he sitting on the couch next to you right now? Drives me nuts.
